Ingredients
- 1 organic free-range chicken
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- 4 bay leaves
- 4 sprigs of thyme
- 2 onions
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 25 cl of chicken stock
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Recipe
- Use a cast iron Dutch oven that can go directly into the oven and is large enough to hold the whole chicken.
- Cut one of the onions into quarters and place it inside the chicken along with a few bay leaves and thyme sprigs.
- Salt the inside of the chicken.
- Salt and pepper the outside of the chicken, massaging gently to ensure it sticks to the skin.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (thermostat 6-7).
- Prepare the chicken stock if you're using a dehydrated bouillon cube.
- In the Dutch oven, over low heat, melt the butter with a bit of oil and brown the chicken on each side.
- When the chicken is slightly browned (it doesn't need to be grilled), add the second onion, sliced into rings, a few more bay leaves and thyme sprigs, and the garlic cloves, unpeeled and crushed with the palm of your hand.
- Finally, add the chicken stock.
- Serve with ORGANIC Mayonnaise
